> [@anon14276620](#): > > However I should say firstly you have now for the first time defined disk usage as I/O Limit on **“reading and writing to the server”** No, this is not the first time. All your questions about the limits are covered in our KB article about it _which you yourself linked to in that other topic_. > [@What does the IO limit mean](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/what-does-the-io-limit-mean/49332/1): > > IO usage measures how much the PHP code on your site interact with the hosting storage. It’s usually measured in MB per second. > [@anon14276620](#): > > Is this recorded activity from a web page to the server? or is this FTP updates to the site? Again, please read the article about the limit. It answers many common questions, including some of yours: > [@What does the IO limit mean](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/what-does-the-io-limit-mean/49332/1): > > The IO metric does not count usage that is not generated from PHP. This includes uploading and downloading files over FTP or the file manager, accessing web pages on your site or downloading files from it, or managing scripts through Softaculous. > [@anon14276620](#): > > **What is this limit value of this threshold which you have skillfully not stated.** It’s secret. And even if I told you, say, the limit is 512 kB/s with a fault limit of 1000 (arbitrary numbers), how exactly do you suppose that information would help you? > [@anon14276620](#): > > **Why is there no graph showing this unsafe usage which your system detects** You can find the IO limit usage graph in the control panel. > [@anon14276620](#): > > Secondly your company iFastNet placed a transaction filter on our services last year without proper reason being given . Was this additionally hitting this unspecified I/O limit ? As I’ve told you many times before: we did not place a router filter or transaction filter. All the limits you’ve experienced are limits that have been there from the start. I don’t know why it worked before and stopped working after, but I guarantee you that it’s not because of a change we made to your site. > [@anon14276620](#): > > Which you now call “chunked streaming” as the very PHP code you gave to restream would not provide and read write functionality. You have said that this limit is i/o with your webservers reading or writing to the severs that any “chunked reading” to process id3 would not write any information to the local server. OK, then I have no idea what the code you shared is doing. Just for clarity: where is the ID3 extraction happening? Is that data being extracted somewhere else and then transmitted to your website, or does the metadata extraction process run on our hosting? > [@anon14276620](#): > > fourthly you informed me presumably within your rules that to make my web site compliant with use as **secure https** website I would need to restream my stream signal. > As you seem to infer that this new imposed limit by IFastNet instead of resolving the problem I pointed out with monsta editor which places the edit menu of the top of the screen off the screen. It is confusing then that you would go to expense to place a new I/O limit rather than fix a fault which you have been advised off! You must be aware that in this community people are leaving because the answers which are being given to them on other threads in this community? This is very sad as you are loosing some cleaver individuals I can’t make sense of this statement. - No new limits have been installed. - Yes, using HTTPS is allowed. If it wasn’t, we would consciously build and offer specific features to get SSL certificates and install them. - I don’t know what “fault” you are referring to that we supposedly should fix. Again, we didn’t install any new limits or filters or whatever other malicious act you accuse us of having done to you. > [@anon14276620](#): > > As this is IONOS as I signed up with and as a IONOS customer I am quite aware you run this forum as InfinityFree and web serves are run from IFastNet allegedly not InfinityFree. allegedly not IONOS. > [@anon14276620](#): > > I also would point out you stated **"One of the limits enforced by InfinityFree is the “IO limit”.** have you just said that your company is iFastNet? You also did not mention IONOS. Is IONOS obtaining serves from InfinityFree and IFastNet for its customer’s? Again, we have absolutely no relation to IONOS. They don’t supply us and (as far as I know) we don’t supply them. There is zero relationship between our services. So of course we don’t mention IONOS: we don’t mention companies we have zero relation with. If you want to get services from them, you’re free to do so. But they cannot help you with the hosting you get from us and vice versa. And no, there is no relation between an “IO limit” and “IONOS”. IO is short for “input/output”, which is a common term in the context of computers, as evidenced by the Wikipedia article about it: [Input/output - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input%2Foutput) > [@anon14276620](#): > > Admin , Can we be clear here as to the definition of **''radio station"** A radio station is _an installation consisting of one or more transmitters or receivers, etc, used for radiocommunications_ as terrestrial licensed transmission by a transmitter over a frequency given out by licensee. Please note this is not what service I provide by using your web services currently! You’re live streaming music. I thought “internet radio station” was a decent description of what you did. If you would prefer I use another term, please let me know. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/my-stream-people-said-they-could-see-no-reason-why-this-doesnt-work/72598)._
